It's time to sell my 2002 Pontiac Sunfire GT. I purchased this car in 2010 when it had 137,000 miles. It now has 218,000+ miles and is still running strong. I planned to keep driving this car for as long as it was running, but I need a newer car for my job (I bought another Pontiac).

I have been the owner and only driver for the past 80,000+ miles. I have been extremely happy with this car.

Recent repairs:
All new front brakes (pads, rotors and calipers) - new brake fluid too - 6/30/14 (just last month)
Exhaust - Engine to Catalytic Converter (including new cat) - 1/25/13
Oxygen Sensors - 11/9/12
Alternator, belt, battery - 5/22/12
Ignition Control Module, coil, Spark Plugs 4/5/12
Oil just changed

I have receipts for everything.
I can provide receipts for oil changes...although, when you hear it run you will know it is a very well maintained car.

Some good things worth mentioning:
I drive 80% highway/ 20% city - I always get 30mpg - 400mi per tank of gas (about $45)
Clutch is very strong
ABS Brakes work great in the snow and rain
Inspection good thru December 2014
AC is very cold
Radio, CD and speakers are all in good working condition
Drives straight at all speeds
It has the 2.2L, DOHC EcoTec Engine with a 5 speed manual transmission.

A few issues worth mentioning:
The interior fan has 3 speeds (low medium and high). Medium and high work perfectly - low does not work.
Front tires are 40% rear tires are 10%.
Check engine light is on sometimes and off sometimes. The code is a vacuum leak, but this has been smoke tested and there is no leak. It will pass private inspection.
Clearcoat started to peel off the roof. This was sanded and painted black.
Exhaust has a little rattle.

The car is parked at my work on Route 46 in Fairfield NJ - you are welcome to come take a look anytime (weekends too).

This is an honest sale of a great car; you can bid with confidence on this Sunfire. Winning bidder will be given the opportunity to take it on a test drive before making final payment. With the exception of the items listed here, I believe this is the best 2002 Pontiac Sunfire you will find anywhere. I am so sure you will be pleased with this car, if after your test drive, you don't agree this has been listed accurately, I'll be happy to re-list it for another buyer. You won't be disappointed!

This is a no-reserve auction.

Dealers are welcome, but this car will only be sold thru this Ebay auction - winner gets it!

Thanks for looking!

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
